What is Raspberry Pi?
Raspberry Pi is a single board computer which is the size as small as a credit card.
Developed by Raspberry Pi foundation in UK
Costs around US$25 to $35
KEY FEATURES
• Connect to the TV via HDMI interface
• For learning programming
• Act as a media centre for video playback or gaming functions
The Raspberry Pi measures 85.60mm x 56mm x 21mm (or roughly 3.37″ x 2.21″ x 0.83″) & It weighs 45g
Types & Specification Of Raspberry Pi
There are two types of Raspberry Pi :
Model A Model B
OPERATING SYSTEM USED IN RASPBERRY PI
First you have to write it to a suitable (2GB or 4GB) SD card using the UNIX tool dd. Windows users can use Win32 Disk Imager.

ARCHITECTURE OF RASPBERRY PI
PINS LAYOUT
• 17 GPIO pins• most have alternated functions • two pins for UART; two for I2C;
six for SPI• All 17 pins can be GPIO (i.e., INPUT
or OUTPUT)• all support interrupts• internal pull-ups & pull-downs for
each pin
•Pins are 3.3V not 5V like on the Arduino•They are connected directly to the Broadcom chip •Sending 5V to a pin may kill the Pi•Maximum permitted current draw from a 3.3V pin is 50mA
Diagram includes BCM GPIO references (GPIO.BCM), common functions, WiringPi pin references, and Pin numbers (GPIO.BOARD).

WIRELESS DISPLAY OVER BLUETOOTH USING PI AND ANDROID PHONE
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Goal is to build a system using Raspberry Pi and an Android phone to get the wireless display over Bluetooth and setup a Virtual Network connection between them
The basic idea is to set up Bluetooth networking with the Pi, and use SDL VNC viewer to display the X screen on the Android device
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop sharing system that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to remotely control another computer. It transmits the keyboard and mouse events from one computer to another, relaying the graphical screen updates back in the other direction, over a network.
MOTIVATION
The basic idea of connecting a raspberry pi and an android over Bluetooth and VNC
Give user a flexibility to access and work remotely over the phone
Can help save and store data over the pi and phone. The phone can be accessed completely over the Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a pretty powerful device, but much of its benefits come when it's connected to the Internet. If we want to utilize the Pi for mobility, we should try this method of tethering it to our smartphones to get it online anywhere we have mobile data
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURESystem Architecture:
An overall view of the system is as below:
Ping
On Pi Android Phone
Bluetooth network setup
Utility VNC Set-up
BLUETOOTH NETWORK SETUP
The Raspberry pi is not equipped with the built in Bluetooth, so we need to follow the below steps: Bluetooth dongle (We used version 2.0) Install drivers Commands on the command editor of pi to scan the
devices over Bluetooth. This is needed only for first time
Connect
VNC SETUP FOR RASPBERRY PI
Using commands, we installed TightVNCServer over Raspberry Pi
Set the pixel format and geometry settings as for the Android display screen
Install client over android
Connect to Raspberry pi
LEARNING
Basic Raspberry Pi setup and connection
Connecting Raspberry Pi and android phone over Bluetooth and access the data and folders of Android from pi
Establishing the Virtual Network connection between the Pi and Android
This enables the users to remotely access the Raspberry pi system over a phone
Once completely installed, the Pi should automatically mount and connect to our mobile device when we plug it in, without having to fiddle around in the command
Can be enhanced and improved for future works like live demonstrations, programming and learning
SERVO WITH THE PI
Controlling a Servo with the Pi• Controlling the servos requires PWM, aka Pulse Width Modulation
– The Arduino program has complete control of the microcontroller • when it is running loop() nothing else can use the CPU
– Except for interrupt handlers written as part of the Arduino program
– On the Raspberry Pi, your program runs within a Linux OS• The Linux OS may switch to running another program!
– But you can change your program’s scheduling priority• Some ways of getting the Pi to give the impression that it is a real time
system and to do PWM ‘properly’:
Connect a Parallax Servo
Servo Connector: Black – Pi’s ground Red – Pi’s 5V White – signal on GPIO 17

NOTE: For a single small servo you can take the 5 volts for it from the Pi header, but doing anything non-trivial with four servos connected pulls the 5 volts down far enough to crash the Pi
Using WiringPi’s servo example#include <stdio.h>#include <errno.h>#include <string.h>#include <wiringPi.h>#include <softServo.h>int main () { if (wiringPiSetup () == -1) { // setup to use Wiring pin numbers fprintf (stdout, "oops: %s\n", strerror (errno)) ; return 1 ; } softServoSetup (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) ; // wiringPi pin numbers for (;;) { softServoWrite (0, 0) ; // wiringPi pin 0 is BCM_GPIO 17 delay (1000) ; softServoWrite (0, 500) ; delay (1000); softServoWrite (0, 1000) ; delay (1000); }}
Running servo.c• To compile: gcc -Wall -o servo servo.c wiringPi/wiringPi/softServo.c compile softServo.c -IwiringPi/wiringPi path to softServo.c -lwiringPi include wiring library• To run: sudo ./servo• Calling softServoWrite () ;
– The 1st input is the pin number– The 2nd input refers to the number of microseconds of the pulse.
• An input of 0 produces a 1000uSec (1mSec) pulse (hard left)• An input of 1000 produces a 2000uSec (2mSec) pulse (hard right)• An input of 500 produces a 1500uSec (1.5 mSec) pulse (stop)
